5-I. EXCEPTIONS FORM.pdf

This is an Exceptions Form for Guardrail Installation and Repair Services ITB# 269-2025-176 submitted by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, for the purpose of documenting any deviations from the standard request for proposal terms and conditions. The form requires bidders to acknowledge their agreement to provide all products and services as specified in the RFP and pricing sheet in strict conformity with the stated terms, conditions, and specifications, including any addenda or amendments. Bidders are permitted to document exceptions to the RFP requirements in a provided chart that includes columns for the RFP/Contract Section Number, Section Title, and the specific exception and proposed changes. The form requires the bidder to provide their company name, date of submission, and the signature and printed name and title of an authorized company representative.

The form serves as a critical compliance document, as the instructions specify that exceptions representing material changes to bid terms are grounds for automatic rejection of the bidder's proposal. This ensures that the City of Charlotte can evaluate all bids on a consistent basis and that any deviations from standard contract terms are explicitly documented and evaluated for acceptability before award consideration.
